Hauskuld tells his brother that he should take a wife and already identified a suitable girl. She is Unn, Mord's daughter. Hrut likes Unna very much, but he is scared of their relationship because he thinks it might not work. Nonetheless, Hauskuld arranges the marriages between Hallgerd and his brother Hrut through Mord, who hesitates to accept the marriage since he is not familiar with Hrut yet. However, a hefty dowry convinces him, and he accepts the marriage. Hrut and his brother Hauskuld use Hrut's ship riding out and meet their uncle, Auzur.
